Labelling line segments
When a line has end points we say that it has finite length.
It is called a line segment.
We usually label the end points with capital letters.
For example, this line segment
A B
has end points A and B.
We can call this line, line segment AB.

Lines in a plane
A flat two-dimensional surface is called a plane.
Any two straight lines in a plane either intersect once …
This is called
the point of
intersection.

Lines in a plane
… or they are parallel.
We use arrow
heads to show
that lines are
parallel.
Parallel lines will never meet. They stay an equal distance
apart.
This means that they are always equidistant.

Vertically opposite angles
When two lines intersect, two pairs of vertically opposite
angles are formed.
a
b
c
d
a = c and b = d
Vertically opposite angles are equal.

AnglesWhen two lines meet at a point an angle is formed.
An angle is a measure of rotation from one of the line
segments to the other.
We often label angles using lower-case letters or Greek
letters such as , theta.

What is the sum of the interior angles in a quadrilateral?
We can work this out by dividing the quadrilateral into two
triangles.

a + b + c = 180° and d + e + f = 180°
So, (a + b + c) + (d + e + f ) = 360°

Sum of the interior angles
in a polygon The number of triangles that a polygon can be divided
into is always two less than the number of sides.
We can say that:
A polygon with n sides can be divided into (n – 2) triangles.
The sum of the interior angles in a triangle is 180°.
So,
The sum of the interior angles in an n-sided
polygon is (n – 2) × 180°.

Interior angles in regular polygons
A regular polygon has equal sides and equal angles.
We can work out the size of the interior angles in a regular
polygon as follows:
Name of regular polygon Sum of the interior
angles
Size of each interior
angle
Equilateral triangle 180° 180° ÷ 3 = 60°
Square 2 × 180° = 360° 360° ÷ 4 = 90°
Regular pentagon 3 × 180° = 540° 540° ÷ 5 = 108°
Regular hexagon 4 × 180° = 720° 720° ÷ 6 = 120°

The sum of exterior angles in a polygon
For any polygon, the sum of the interior and exterior angles
at each vertex is 180°.
For n vertices, the sum of n interior and n exterior angles is
n × 180° or 180n°.
The sum of the interior angles is (n – 2) × 180°.
We can write this algebraically as 180(n – 2)° = 180n° – 360°.

The sum of exterior angles in a polygon
If the sum of both the interior and the exterior angles is 180n°
and the sum of the interior angles is 180n° – 360°,
the sum of the exterior angles is the difference between
these two.
The sum of the exterior angles = 180n° – (180n° – 360°)
= 180n° – 180n° + 360°
= 360°
The sum of the exterior angles in a polygon is 360°.

Angles in polygons
The angles inside a polygon are called interior angles.
The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°.
The sum of the interior angles in a quadrilateral is 360°.
The sum of the interior angles in an n-sided
polygon is (n – 2) × 180°.
When we extend the sides of a polygon outside the shape
exterior angles are formed
a The sum of the exterior angles in a
polygon is 360°
